Colts' 2018 training camp preview: TE Mo Alie-Cox

The Indianapolis Colts have a pretty deep tight end room, likely the deepest position on the offensive side of the ball and they are hoping to see some development in Mo Alie-Cox.

A former basketball standout at VCU, Alie-Cox initially signed with the Colts during Chris Ballard’s first offseason in 2017. Hoping he might follow the same developmental path similar to that of Erik Swoope, the Colts added him to the roster.

Since they signed him in April 2017, Alie-Cox has been on and off the Colts’ practice squad and injured reserve list. He signed a reserve/futures contract with the team in January.

Alie-Cox has yet to see the field and hasn’t been elevated to the active roster during the season since joining the Colts as he has plenty of development ahead of him.

The Colts are hoping they can Alie-Cox’s superb size (6-5, 267) and athleticism and one day turn him into a weapon on the offensive side of the ball.

Bottom line: The Colts have a deep tight end room entering training camp so there is the likely chance Alie-Cox winds up on the practice squad but don’t be surprised if he sticks around there while the team works on developing him.
